Hm...m
I'm able to build a time format as it should be so why you are asking for an example?

Pls set the time format you want and I'll use it.

thnx

there was my post

... also ...

I'm trying to store a tick's datetime = 41813.000

it displays as 2014-06-23 00:00:00.500

say 1 ms = 1 day / 86400 000 = 0,000000012

if datetime = 41813.000000012 then it displays as 2014-06-23 00:00:00.501

if datetime = 41813.000000024 then it displays as 2014-06-23 00:00:00.502

so the question is: why 500 ms is already there or it's because of me?

thnx

another case:

pls take the exmpl from post #3, remove all ms-parts and import the data

20140619, 12:30:11, 34879, 34879, 34879, 34879, 5, 1, 0, 5
20140619, 12:30:11, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2
20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2
20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3
20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3

Edit --> Import and Load intraday Data

so ... as you can see the 500 ms is already there

http://s13.postimg.org/ns7hu9azb/test4ms1.png

go the one tick back and you'll see 499ms as an unexpected part

the question is the same: why 499ms or 500ms are already there?

thnx

As we can see the issue is related to a chart /status bar/.

Tools Value Window displays the proper values of milliseconds.

We have not had a chance to review the recent posts and also the code and also do testing.

The case is the status bar displays wrong numbers instead of milliseconds. That's it.

So this is your choice to correct the issue or to leave it as is. I don't care.

There is no problem with the status bar. We imported this data:

Date, Time, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, NumberofTrades, BidVolume, AskVolume
20140619, 12:30:09, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 6, 1, 0, 6
20140619, 12:30:10, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 6, 1, 0, 6
20140619, 12:30:10, 34877, 34877, 34877, 34877, 2, 1, 2, 0
20140619, 12:30:11, 34879, 34879, 34879, 34879, 5, 1, 0, 5
20140619, 12:30:11, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2
20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 2, 1, 0, 2
20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3
20140619, 12:30:13, 34880, 34880, 34880, 34880, 3, 1, 0, 3

There were no milliseconds in the Intraday Data Editor, in the Tool Values Window or on the Status Bar. The milliseconds were 0 in each of these.

The Intraday data importing function does not have support for milliseconds. We will see about adding this.

In the next release of Sierra Chart, when importing data, there will be support for reading milliseconds from the time according to the format you give above.

My eyes says me you are wrong: http://s28.postimg.org/3kl6j3spp/wrong_ms.png

Very good. Thnx.

We simply do not see this from the imported data. Do you see the same timestamp in Edit >>Edit/Download Data-Intraday Chart.

What time zone do you have Sierra Chart set to?

The tool displays proper numbers. There is no problem with it.
